Stari trg ob Kolpi

Stari trg (“The Old Market”) is the largest settlement in Poljanska dolina, and lies 15 km from Črnomelj. Its name originates from the period of the Turkish invasion, when Stari trg played a strategic role and was an important trade centre. The wide central street, surrounded by one-storey houses, ends with a parish church of St Jožef. The church of St Andrej na Kalvariji lies outside the settlement, along the road Stari trg – Deskova vas. The path to the church twists among 12 chapels – the Calvary, erected in the year 2000. Fourteen original chapels, which stood on both sides of the road, were destroyed during the Second World War. Stone gates of some houses in Stari trg might be a particular point of interest to some visitors.
